Rep. Allison Dahle has served as the Democratic representative for North Carolina's House District 11, encompassing parts of Wake County, since January 2019. A Raleigh native, she graduated from Needham B. Broughton High School and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Speech from the University of South Carolina. Before her political career, Dahle worked as a stage manager on Broadway and later for the Young Adult Institute in Brooklyn, focusing on services for individuals with developmental disabilities. Upon returning to North Carolina, she continued her advocacy by working with The Arc of North Carolina, supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

In the General Assembly, Dahle has been an active member of several key committees, including Appropriations, Alcoholic Beverage Control, Election Law and Campaign Finance Reform (where she serves as Vice Chair), Ethics, and Local Government - Land Use, Planning and Development. Her legislative priorities focus on education, healthcare, and social justice. She advocates for increased funding for public schools, access to affordable healthcare, and policies that promote equality and protect the rights of marginalized communities.

As one of the few openly LGBTQ+ members of the North Carolina legislature, Dahle brings a unique and important perspective to her role. She is committed to fostering an inclusive environment and advancing policies that protect the rights of all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Her dedication to public service and her community has earned her the trust and respect of her constituents, leading to her re-election in 2020 and 2022.
